I loved this game on NES. I hope this is one of many classic remakes Sony is rumored to have made deals with 3rd party developers.

January 16, 2008 - We'd have settled for just one Bionic Commando game this year, but it turns out that Capcom has more on the way! The latest issue of Famitsu has a first look at Bionic Commando: Master D Revival Plan, a 3D remake of the original Bionic Commando (known in Japan as Hitler's Revival).

Aside from the 3D visuals, the game promises to maintain the flavor of the original title, which presumably means pure side-scrolling gameplay. Capcom is adding a simultaneous two player mode, secret areas, and some elements that will connect the classic title to the new full 3D Bionic Commando.

The Bionic Commando remake will be released as a paid download through Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Store. Pricing hasn't been set, but a Japanese release is planned for this Spring.

I don't think the new 3D game will be that fun. I may have to check out this remake, though. I spent many hours playing BC on my NES as a youth.

Maybe the remake of the original. I'm guessing just new textures will be fun but the new game they are making looks and sounds absolutely horrible.

This looks good--definite potential here.

EDIT:

Q&A

Apparently there will be two-player co-op (and some modes "yet to be revealed")!

Uh, coop? I dont recall the original being anything but a single player game. I guess if they do it properly, but how much work is going into this when a brand new BC game is coming?
